Grenade Attack Wounds Two U.S. Soldiers in Iraq [Aug. 19]

TIKRIT, Iraq (Reuters) - A rocket-propelled grenade and gun attack on a U.S. convoy north of Baghdad wounded two American soldiers on Tuesday, the U.S. military said.


Lieutenant Colonel William MacDonald of the 4th Infantry Division said the convoy was attacked near Balad, a town in the "Sunni Triangle" north and west of Baghdad where support for fugitive dictator Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) remains strong.


At least seven Iraqis were killed on Monday in a blast at an ammunition dump north of Saddam's home town of Tikrit. MacDonald said U.S. troops investigating the blast found one body at the scene and Iraqi police later found a further six.


The identities of those killed were not known, but soldiers said the ammunition dump had been often targeted by looters.
